Moon Lake

Highlight • Lake

Moon Lake is beautiful and quiet, surrounded by forest in Riding Mountain National Park with a day use area, campground, and a small dock for paddling or fishing. It’s a good base for exploring nearby trails year-round, perfect for hiking in summer, with fewer crowds than Clear Lake. There is plenty of wildlife, including loons, moose, and an occasional black bear. It's a peaceful setting that feels remote without being difficult to reach.

Moon Lake Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Moon Lake Trail runs just over nine kilometres that loops around the shoreline, crossing 16 small streams and into a beautiful meadow filled with wildflowers on the north side of the lake. It’s a moderately challenging and can be muddy in places, but it's an ideal path complete with the peaceful sounds of birds, solitude, and classic boreal beauty.
